To all whom it may eoucern: l

Be it known that l, LEVE W, YAGG-Y, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lake Forest, in the conn-'ty of Lake and State of illinois,have invented a certain new and useful Iniprovement in Tablets ShowingHow to Mix "Paints, which is fully set forth in the followingspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure l shows the Colors arranged in a prea sectional view takenthrou gli the color-board and the revolving disks connected therewith,showing how these disks areattaehed to the eolorboardlfig. 3 shows afront visivothe color-board shown in Fig. l. fi is a basl; or under viewof the disks attached to the eenter of the Color-board shown inv Fig. l.Fig. 5 is the opposite side 'of that side oi the dish shown in Fig. i,showing: the printing thereon. Fig. G shows the two disks whieh revolveon the color-board, Fig. i, turned relatively to eaoh other in position'tov shoiv through them. Fig. 7 shows these saine two disks revolvedrelatively to each other to show Whe-t colors are used to produce wthatis termed a tertiary color. Fig. 8 shows these saine disks revolvedrelatively to eachother,

so that when they are turned on the color-- board they will show colorscomplementary to ee-oii other.

The object of my invention is to furnish :t tablet of colors to be usedby those who wish to mixpigxnents or colors to produoe eertsin othercolors that are shown on my AT'When it is desired to produce a eert-aineolor in mixing paints, especially those to be used by artists inpainting pictures, it .is very difficult to determine what eolor it isueoessary to use to produce the Adesires'i eolor. it is well understoodthat there are three primary colors z blue, red, and yellow. Therearethree secondary eolorsagreen, Whioh is produced byniixing in equalparte yeilow and' blue; purple, Whieh is prodneed by inixin gv in equalparts blue andred, and orange,`whieh is profl u eed by mixing in equalparts red and yellow.

l have two disks A and B, which Lare eenf4v t65 trally seeured on a studC, saidstud.bein-5.1;:y iirinly attached to the eohfirbosrd at itseei-.ter. The disk A is provided with four'openings D corresponding in sizeto the primary and seeondary eoiors on the e-olor-bpard, and ,7o anopening E eorrespondingin,site to theter.-E tiary colors arranged on theeoioibosrdsbe.- i tween the primer? and seeondary colors and 'the eeuterof the hoard. ln the dish B, l havey ,f seven oreningsi?correspondinginsizeto them 5 openings l) in the disk A and arrangedtthei seine distance from the oonierfof the dislqi; ,ig G eorresgiondingto'the opening E in disk A. fr

The disks A and i3 are seenred together a 8o their outer edges by anoverlappingr#piecev li', 'f sttaehed to a proieoting iange l.

1f it is desired to produce a tertiary color, the disks A and B arerevolved relatively to each other and to the color-board, so that thefigures 2 and 7 are brought in juxtaposition,

`as shownin Fig. 7 of the drawings. At the same timetlic words To showhowvtertiary colors are made appear through one of the openings D, andtwo different colors will appear through the openings D, and a tertiarycolor will appear through the openingE; The

two colors shown through the openings D will always be the colors whichare mixed to prod ucc the tertiary color which appears through theopening E.V By revolving the two disks A and Bin that positionrelatively to each other to cause whatever tertiary color it i's desiredto make o f all the tertiary colors ar ranged in position to appearthrough the opening E as the disks revolve on the color-board, the twocolors required to make thattertiary color will appear through theopenings D.

Vhen it is desired to ascertain which of the colors are complementary toeach other, the disks A and B are revolved relatively to each other andto the color-board, so that the iigures i? and G appear injuxtaposition, as shown in Fig. S, when the words, To show coni.-plementary colors will appear through the opening E in the disk. Then byturning the disks while in that position on the colonboard the colorswhich appear through the openings D will always he complementary to eachother. 'lo bring these colors which are complementary to each other inposition on the colorboard opposite to cach other, I have arranged someof the tertiary colors in the circle on the color-b0ard in which I haveplaced the pri- It will thus be seen that by this arrangement of colorson the color-board and bymeans of theI disks which are revolved on'thecolor-board traer? i relatively to each other to bring Atheir open ings.in certain relative positions `I am able to show through theopenings-in thc disks the primary colors, all. of the other colors beingcoveredy by thc disks. l am also'able by turning the disks relatively tocach other and into a lcertain position relative to the color board toset them so that when the disks are `revolved on the color-board twoprimary colorsl only will show through the disks and. at the same time asecondary color7 which is produced by mixing these two primary colorstogether, and hy turning the disks the primary V-eolors necessary to useto produce the desired secondary color are shown through the disks atthe same time that that particular sccn ondary color is shown, allfofthe other colors on the color-board being covered. In `the same manner Idisclose what colors are required for making any of the tertiary colors,

produce any desiredlcolore-sas, for instance,

if one wishes /to produce a particular color, shade, or, tint, thatparticular color, shade or tint is foundfon the color-hoard, and then bythe use ofl tiiecolor-board the disks are used to exhibit through themthe desired tint or color and at the same time exhibit through them theeolor/swllieh are to be mixed to produce the desiredeolbr, shade, ortint.

By the use oi thecolor-board with the disks all of the other colors arecovered, excepting the one .which it is desired to make and the twocolors which are used to make that desired color.

My tablet showing how to mix pigments or colors is adapted to be used inschools as a study with which to teach the science of colors from theprimary colors through all thc different colors and shades and tintswhich can be produced, and which are used in painting pictures or inanyother department of practical orartistic work in which colors aremixed to produce certain other colors, shades or tints.

I of course publish a description ol;` my tablet, with the method ofoperating it, to he used in connection with the tablet in schools, whichfurnishesa complete study of colors, teaching .the method of using them.

Having fully described the construction and operation of my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Jatent, is-

l. In a tablet showing how to mix colors, a color-board bearingdifferent colors arranged in a certain predetermined method; and movableplates or disks havingopenings through them which are movable upon thecolor-board XOO plates or disks, the openings being so arranged thatwhen the plates or disks are revolved into a certain position as to eachother, only one class of colors will be exhibited through said plates ordisks as they are-revolved upon the color-board, together With thecolors required to be mixed to produce that class of colors.
